Beschreibung

Surveying more than three thousand years of Egyptian civilization, Egypt and the Egyptians offers a comprehensive introduction to this most rich and complex of early societies. The book explores every aspect of Egyptian culture and society, including religion, language, art, architecture, cities, and mummification, combining archaeological and documentary sources to give the reader a unique and expansive view. This second edition is fully revised and updated, including new material on the role of women and Egypt's transition to an agricultural society, and includes many new illustrations.
